To the Editor of the TELEGRAM-HEkALD.
For the information OF many of the read
ers of the TELEGRAN-HERALD. would like
TO have your opinion Of what constitutes 3
prize 6ght. There seems To- De a difieren ce
in the views of many OF your readers
whether the recent midnight meeting out
At the Boulevard" was prize fight within
the meaning OF the Statutes of Michigan" !"
Those who claim that it was not a prize
fight, point triumphantly 20 the fact thst
many of our prominent business nen were
present and witnessed. wh&teser il was,
and that even our worthy sheriff OF Kent
county was present in his Official capacity
10 maintain the peace and dignity OF the
people on that interesting occasion.
II is Just possible that myself and many
others are mistaken in our view OF that
ewes Of the law of the State-thst on
the contrary, II was only, little harmless
exhibition, just for fun etc. But FROM the
description given by the papers Of what
took place a. that m1eting, such items, IS
the ring" seconds rounds" "rsferee,
fouls. Marquis OF Queenssury rules" az
well as the notices cards and challenges
that have appeared in the papers since. IN
regard 10 gate money and repetition OF the
fight or pisy or whatever il Was, sounds 10
me- very much like the language used IN
the vocabulary of tue prize ring" /
would also cali youT attention 10 Sec. s3oS,

ion whether that section has ans reference
